BOLGATANGA: Swap Restaurant- (Not affiliated with Swad in Tamale) Excellent and only international food in Bolga. Service can go either way, as can wait times for food. Pizza is excellent and decently priced. The Falafel wrap was our particular dish choice on many occasions. Comme-ci, Comme-ca- Haha. This excellent outdoor space is the only thing [...]

It was an invaluable key to points of interest and to practical necessities (e.g. It’s very late – where can we find a guest house near the bus station?). Occasionally, though, the description in the guide seemed out-of-date, so [...]
In Bolgatanga had an excellent guide: Joseph +233 (0)20 9335955 (josephadugbire@yahoo.com). He’s very laid back, has no personal agenda and really tunes into your likes and needs. Took me by bike (with helmets) to all sorts of interesting places. Highly recommended. Travelled by trotro, shared taxi and bike from the Togo border near Hohoe then north to [...]
We spent 2 months in Bolgatanga and met this friendly young couple that runs a Christian homeschool for disadvantaged children, Adam and Abby. Abby makes the BEST pizza we’ve had, and amazing chocolate no-bake cookies to follow for dessert. It’s worth the money, and they are using the pizza business to help make ends meet [...]
Bongo: this lovely village is about 30 minutes from Bolga. When I arrived at the taxi park a man came to meet me and explained that it is customary to first greet the chief. So I did this and the chief was very friendly and welcoming. He assigned his son to accompany me to Bongo [...]

But now I’m relocating to my hometown in Bolga. The opening will take place at the end of May 2011. My restaurant will focus itself [...]
Wa palace is being renovated; army guys were nice but unwilling to let us in. Stayed in Tegbeer which was fine but argued about the room cost as we asked for non AC and they put us in AC (35 vs 45 Cedis), then they said kitchen would open 6.30am, no-one appeared until after 8am. [...]
Trotro and taxi scams
Posted: November 8, 2009 in Bolgatanga, Mole NP & Larabanga, Tamale, Transport, WaI’m living in Bolgatanga and I’ve recently heard of a few highway robberies in the Norther, Upper East and Upper West Regions. A Ghanaian friend was traveling from Tamale to Wa, but there was no vehicle, so he went to Techiman and haggled a share taxi from there. However, the passengers were thieves. Part-way along [...]
For 12GhC a night we stayed at the Sacred Heart Catholic Social Centre. They had electricity part of the time we were there and running water (a sink in the room but communal bathrooms/shower). It rained heavily during the night and our roof was leaky, but we weren’t too phased, just moved the beds a [...]
